It is the purpose of ___ and ____ with God that the Holy Spirit has come upon us.

• A. Humility and Service
• B. Obedience and Faith
• C. Sanctification and Worship
• D. Holiness and Intimate Fellowship

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is what the Holy Spirit’s coming upon us aims to do in a believer’s life: it’s to bring us into holy living and close, personal fellowship with God. Holiness means being set apart for God and living in a way that reflects His character—being transformed so our actions, desires, and choices align with Him. The Holy Spirit enables that transformation, empowering us to turn away from sin and live righteously.

Intimate fellowship describes the deep, ongoing relationship with God that the Spirit enables—knowing Him, drawing near in prayer, worship, and daily communion. It’s not just about rules or duties; it’s about a living, experienced relationship with God that grows as we walk with Him.

So the pairing of holiness and intimate fellowship best captures the Spirit’s purpose: to make us holy in our conduct and to nurture a close, personal relationship with God. While humility, service, obedience, faith, or worship are related aspects of the Christian life, they don’t as fully express both the moral transformation and the deep relational aim of the Spirit’s presence.
